The 21st annual Thanksgiving Yoga Benefit will be held on Nov. 22, from 8-10 a.m. at Green Tea Yoga, 10 Colonial St., Salem. On Thanksgiving morning every year since 1998, yogis on the North Shore have come together to give thanks and do yoga. The group includes beginning and ongoing students as well as teachers—folks who want a strong practice, those who like a gentle practice, and everything in between.

Space is limited and registration is required. Participants can register or make a donation on Eventbrite by searching "21st Annual Thanksgiving Yoga - nAGLY Benefit." The suggested ticket price is $35. Walk-ins welcome as space allows.

All proceeds benefit nAGLY (the North Shore Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth), which provides a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental space for youth ages 14-23 who identify as LGBTQ, and their allies. Donations support weekly programs that address topics including safe sex, bullying, and coming out, and social events (movie night, guest speakers, and field days). nAGLY offers workshops, a book club, a poetry club and computer access. nAGLY has a middle school support group (one of two such programs in the state), TRANS-cendence (a transgender-specific group), and EPiC@nAGLY (Educators and Parents in Communication).
